Scientists at GE Global Research are using the multi-petaflop Titan supercomputer at Oak Ridge National Laboratory to study the way that ice forms as water droplets come in contact with cold surfaces. They are working to develop "icephobic" materials that prevent ice formation and accumulation. Read more…

According to Lustre founder and current CEO of Parallel Scientific, languages that buck the mainstream trend, including Haskell, could find further inroads into HPC as models, data sizes and overall complexity grow. We spoke with Braam at ISC and discovered that like Python, there are... Read more…

Since the dawn of high performance computing, climate modeling has been one of its most demanding domains. The hunger for computational capability is unending, as researchers work to incorporate more of nature's complexity into their models at higher resolutions. HPCwire talked with NOAA/GFDL Deputy Director Brian Gross and Venkatramani Balaji, head of the lab's Modeling Systems Group. Read more…

D.E. Shaw Research loans specialized supercomputer to Pittsburgh Supercomputing Center for biomolecular research, while NIH provides the operating funds; and NCSA climate change models show earth's temperatures are rising in response to human activity, but it's not too late to act. We recap those stories and more in our weekly wrapup. Read more…
